Buying Organic Fertilizer
Robert Johnson
From backyard vegetable gardens to large ultra-modern farming
operations, more and more growers are choosing organic
fertilizers as a smart alternative to chemical treatments.
Organic farming is certainly not new, but it has found a
renewed interest as a means to improve the natural fertility of
soil and farm resources. For many people, organic fertilizers
provide the answer to nutrient deficiency in soil.
To produce their own natural organic fertilizer, some farmers
use traditional practices such as recycling farm-produced
livestock manure, practicing crop rotation, or composting
organic materials. When factors like innate nutritional
shortages in regional soils and high productivity demands make
these traditional means inconvenient, farmers may choose to
purchase organic fertilizers and soil additives from specialty
suppliers and organic fertilizer dealers. Listed below is a
resource for farmers and gardeners of organic fertilizer
dealers and suppliers in the United States and bordering
countries.
